Application tiled April 15, 1910. Serial No. 555,73.

T 0 all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ARCHIBALD D. SCOTT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Winding-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in winding machinesand more particularly to machines for winding wire into a coil orwinding for use in connection with electrical apparatus, for example,electro-magnets or the windings for field magnets of motors or dynamos.F

The primary object of the invention is 4to provide a machine for thepurpose described which will be comparatively simple in construction,and efficient in operation.

A further object is to provide improved and simplified means forregulating the supply and tension of wire, or other strand being wound,in accordance with the amount demanded by the winding operation.

' Other objects will appear as the description hereinafter. progresses.y,

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement 'of parts andtheir aggroupment in operative combination to be ully describedhereinafter, and the novelty of which will be particularly pointed outand distinctly claimed.

I have full and clearly illustrated my invention in t e accompanyingdrawings to be taken as a part of this description, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a plan view partly in horizontal section of ya machineembodying my present invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the strandguiding mechanism, and the feed-regulating mechanism. Fig. 3 is a sideelevation of the machine taken from the side opposite to that shown inFig. 2. Fig. il is a rear elevation partly in section of the supplymechanism and part of the means for regulating the supply of the strandfurnished by the supply mechanism. Fig. 5 a detail sectional'view of thesupply spool shaft and the brake therefor. Fig. 6 is a view in rearelevation of the complete machine. Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view.

Before entering into a detailed description of the machine employed forillustrating my invention, Iwould state that the same is shown for thepurposes of this application as embodying a supply mechanism, a windingmechanism, a strand guide for guiding the strand to the windingmechanism, and means for regulating the amount of strand furnished tothewinding mechanism from the supply mechanism.

Referring to the drawings I will. proceed to describe the embodiment ofmy invention .therein shown, first describing what I have termed thesupply mechanism.

Calling attention to Figs. 1, 3, 4 and G, the supply spool mechanism isshown generally at A, and 1, 2 and 3 designate standards of any suitabledesign firmly secured to a base suoli as a Hoor, and spaced apart fromeach other as shown, each standard having a journal bearing 4 adjacentthe upper end thereof, said bearings being in horizontal alinement. Inthese alining bearings isjournaled a horizontally disposed supply spoolshaft 5, the same bridging the space between the standards vand havingone end projecting, as at 6, beyond or outside the bearing, 4. Mountedupon the shaft 5 between the standards l and 2 is the supply spoolconsisting of a core 7 and flanges 8, said spool being secured on theshaft by means of a fixed abutment or cone-collar 9 against which thespool is held by means of an adjustable cone-collar 1G threaded onto theshaft as at 11. The adjustable collar 10 is adjusted so that the spoolis Jtorced against the collar 9 and thereby rigidly clamped to the shaftbetween said cone-collars, whereby said spool and shaft turn together.vArranged on the shaft 5 between the standards 2 and 3 is a brake wheel12 engaged by a hand brake 13, one end of which is secured at a Hiredpoint 14 oft the shaft and wheel, and the other end of which isconnected to a lever 15 ulcrumed at 1G, said lever being connected by achain 17 with one arm 18 of an intermediately `fulcruined lever, theopposite arm 19 of which carries a weight 19ab the function of whichwill be presently set fort-h. On the end of the lever 15 opposite to thechain 17 is a weight 15n which serves to throw the said lever to applythe brake Vio iii)

said wheel is not directly connected to the shaft but is capable of freemovementabout the same in one direction although it is positively'connected thereto when the shaft is revolved in the opposite direction'.The connection providing for this operation is provided by rigidlymounting` on the shaft a ratchet disk 21, see Fig. 5, the teeth of whichare engaged by pawls 22 carried by the brake wheel. It will be seen thatby this arrangement 'the shaft, when turning in one direction, as, forinstance, that indicated by the arrow, it will be locked to the brakewheel so that the rotation of the shaft will be braked by the brakeband, but the shaft,

when'turned in the other direction, is free to rotate 'withoutaifectingthe brake wheel or beingsubjected to any braking action. On theprojecting end 6 of the shaft 5, adjacent each other, are mounted afixed pulley 23 and a loose pulley 24 adapted to be driven by an endlessbelt 25 connected to any suitU able source of power. During the normalrunning oi' the machine, this endless belt travels`on the loose pulleywithout affecting the shaft, but is adapted to be shifted to the fixed.pulley, `underconditions to be set forth hereinafter, to revolve theshaft positively. For this purpose l provide a pivoted belt shifting arm25al carried at the upper end of a vertical rotary bar 26 journaled inbrackets 27 carried by the main trarne ot the machine', said bar 26having an arm 28 engaged by a spring 29 to throw the bar so as to shiftthe belt and maint-ain the same normally on the loose pulley. Alsoprojecting from the bar 26 is an arm 30 connected by a chain 31 to anarm 32 connected to the ro'clr shaft 19b carrying' the weighted bellcrank lever before described. ment is such that the shaft and supplyspool normally run tree under the pull or the strand as it is taken upby the Winding mechanism and the brake is set to retard the rotation etthe spool to keep the strand taut and prevent the siool fromyoverrunning. Under certain conv itions it is desired to have therevolution et the shaft reversed to taire upv the wire on the supplyspool the lever 19 is then Athrown down to its fun extent to stopthefurther revolution of the shaft, this movement of 'the lever operating'the belt shifter to shift the belt from the loose to the fast pulleyon. the spool shaft .whereby the revolution of the latter is re# versed.j f

'l' will now proceed to describe the means for regulating the amount ofthe strand to be paid out from the supply mechamnism in accordance withtheamount taken up by the winding mechanism, and cooperating with thebrake and belt shitting means hitherto described for controlling therev-elution of the supply spool.

'llmcated preferably the supply The arrange f spool is a verticallydisposed guide-post 33 v from the upper end of which projects ahorizontal stud shaft 34 upon which are loosely mounted for freerotation. a plurality of circumferentially gro'oved wheels or pulleys35, in this instance three in number, and arranged to revolve inparallel vertical planes. Slidably mounted' on the guidepost 33 is acarriage 36 having runningwheels 37 engaging opposite sides of said postto provide for a free and smooth movement of the carriage on theguide-post. 0n this carriage is a horizontally disposed stud shaft 38 onwhich are rotatably mount-v ed a plurality of grooved pulleys or wheels39, in this instance two in number. The face of the post 33 next thewheel bearing side of the carriage is formed with a line of upwardlydirected ratchet teeth 40 located to be engaged by a pivotal pawl 4lcarried by the carriage. Ihe pawl is preferably pivoted at a pointintermediate its ends on a pin 43, the rear end of `the pawl having aprojection 41a. The spring 42 has one end secured to the pawl adjacentits tooth 41b and engages the pin 44 on the projection 41a, the end ofthe spring opposite to that secured to the pawl engaging a fixed part ofthe carriage so that the pawl is normally urged by the spring 42 towardthe ratchet teeth on the guide-post but does not engage said teethduring the normal reciprocation of the carriage on the post. rl`he pin43, besides serving as the pivot for the pawl 4l, serves also to supportthestud shaft 38 upon which the wheels 39 are mounted, the arrangementbeing such that said wheels are hingedly connected with the Thearrangement of the wheels' carriage. 3 9 on'the supporting carriage andtheir connection with theplvot 43 for the pawl is such that should thewire break and permit the carriage to drop, the spring operates to throwthe pawl into engagement with the teeth on the'g'uidepost, the studshaft carrying the wheels 39 swinging downwardly on its hingedconnection. By thisy arrangement it will be seen that while the windingoperation is in progress and the strand of wire is intact, the wheels 33and their studshaft will be maintained in substantialhorizontalposition, and will hold the pawl out of engagement with the teethagainst the tension of the spring 42, the pawl only being ei'ective tostop the fall of the carriage when a breakin the wire frees the wheels39 to release the spring 42. The wire strand com' ing from the supplyspool is irst passed over the outer wheel 35 on the guide-pest 33 and isthen passed under the outer wheel on the` carriage, over` the middlewheel on the post, under the inner one on the carriage, over the innerone on the post, whence it passes to the winding mechanism, to bepresently described. lt is obvious that durllt? ing the Windingoperation the strand is subjected to pull by the winding mechanism andthis pull and thamount of wire wound is employed to act on the movablecarriage to'regulate the feed of wire from the supply spool. During thisoperation the ycarriage moves up and down on the guide-post, beingpulled up on the post by the wire when the demand 'of the windingmechanism is great, the upward movement being employed to operate thesupply spool to let off more wire, while, when the demand is reduced,the carriage drops or moves down to actuate the spool contnollingelements to reduce the amount of the strand aid out. This isaccomplished by mechanism which I will now describe.

Projecting upward from the rock shaft 19 and rigid therewith is an arm45 to the free end of which is connected the lower end portion of atransmission member 46 consisting of a vertically disposed bar locatedadjacent the guide-post and the parts associated therewith, the upperend of said bar extending beyond the norma-l path of` movement of themovable carriage, and hav ing its upper end portion loosely connected asat 47 to a vertical arm 48 of a bell-crank lever fulcrumed at 49 on theguide-post'. The other arm 49 of this bell-crank lever is connected by aconnecting bar 50 with a lever arm 51 rigidly connected to the rockshaft 19, said arm -51 projecting at a substantial right angle to thearm 45. The transmission bar 46 above described is normally urged towardt-he carriage 36 under inuence of the weight 19", and normally engagesalong one' edge with a running roller 52, carried by the carriage 36.This bar 46 is so formed on the face engaging the carriage that itsposition is changed by the weight, or other suitable means, according tothe position of the carriage as the latter moves up and down, so thatthe let-off of the supply spool is regulated, or its revolutionreversed, to take up the wire. For this purpose the bar 36 is formedwith an intermediate inclined face 54 inclining 'upwardly and outwardtoward the carriage, a straight portion 55 just above the said inclinedportion, and a second outwardly inclined portion 56 above the saidstraight portion. By

this arrangement and construction, under nor- ,mal working conditionsthe carriage takes a position on the guide-post with the roller 52 inengagement with the face 56 on the bar 46. Should the winding spool takeup the wire carried by t-he carriage wheels and the Awheels 35sufliciently to raise the carriage so as to raise the roller 52 on theinclined surface 56, the bar 46 will be moved back; This movement ofthebar 46 will raise the Weighted brake lever and release the brake on thesuppljT spool shaft to permit the spool shaft `to revolve more freelyand pay out more wire to the running wheels 35 and 39, the weight of thecarriage upon which said wheels 39 are mounted serving to pull the wirefrom the supply spool, and, as soon as the supply has been increased toexceed the demand of the winding core, the carriage permits the bar 46to move forward and thereby permits the brake to be set to retard therotation 4of the supply spool. If for any reason the carriage shoulddrop below its normal positionso as to carry too much wire, the roller52 on the carriage will take a position somewhere along the straightsurface 55 on the bar 46, which will permit the weight 198L to throw thebrake to grip the brake wheell to immediately stop the shaft. If thecarriage should :tall low enough to permit the roller 32 to engage theinclined surface 54, the weight 19a will actuate the belt shifter toshift the belt from the loose to the fixed pulley on said shaft. Thisresults in the revolution of the shaftl 5 being reversed to cause thesupply spool to take up the excess wire and raise the carriage and rollto the straight part 55 of the bar 46. The slipping connection betweenthe brake wheel andthe shaft 5 will permit the reversal of the shaft andspool as soon as the belt is shifted from the loose to the fixed pulley,It will thus be seen that the movable carriage and the wheels 85 on theguidepost-co'nstitute a supply source of wirefor the winding mechanismand that the wire is taken off the supply spool and delivered to said.wheels and carriage under the control of the carriage. on the verticalguide-post the strand o f wire passes to a guiding crane, the movementsof this crane being under control of the strand being wound. This cra-necomprises a rectangular frame' 57 pivoted at one side to brackets 58, 58on the' frame of the winding mechanism, said frame 57 being arranged ina vertical plane to swing horizontally, and to the free or swinging endof this frame is pivoted a second frame 59 also arranged in a verticalplane to swing horizontally. The frame 57 carries a revolubleguide-wheel 60 having a channeled periphery, said wheel being arrangedto revolve in a. vertical plane and so that its periphery is located ona common tangent with the inner guide-wheel 35. The frame 59 alsocarries a vertically disposed grooved guiding Wheel 61 located vin avertical plane at an angle to that occupied by wheel 60, but with itsperiphery on a com mon tangent with said wheel 60.

The wmding mechanism proper will now be described.

bed 62 is a bearing framey 64 havingvertical spaced bearings 65,66 in'which are journ'aled From the inner wheel 354 the respective ends of ashaft 67 carrying at one endv a spindle 68 upon which the windingmandrel to be described hereinafter is mounted. Loosely mounted on thisshaft to turn thereon is a cone pulley 69 adapted to be driven by anysuitable power belt as shown at 7 0 in Fig. 6. Also mounted on the shaft67 and connectedto the cone pulley so as to turn therewith is a pinion71 in mesh with a larger gear 72 carried by a shaft 73 journaled on thebed in the rear of the shaft 67 and running parallel thereto, as shownin Figs. 1 and 6. On the opposite end ofthe shaft 73 from that carryingthe gear 72v is a small pinion 74: which in turn meshes with a largergear 75 mounted on and rigidly connected to said shaft 67. By thisarrangement the shaft 67 is driven from the cone pulley by means of thepinion 71, gear 72, shaft 73, pinion 74 and gear 75. The gear 75normally runs independently j of the cone pulley, but in the event it isdesired to drive the winding spindle directly from the pulley, means isprovided for disconnecting the cone pulley from the lshaft 73. A simplemanner of accomplishing this result consists irr mounting the shaft 73in eccentric bearings 76, as shown in F ig. 1

operable by means of handles 77, 77 to swing the shaft 7 3 far enoughaway from the shaft 67 to disengage the gears carriedl by the shafts.The large gear is then blolted to the pulley by suitable fasteningAbolts and it will-,be apparent that the spindle will then be drivendirectly by the cone pulley. Upon one side of the bearing standard 66and arranged to overhang the winding spindle 68 is a bracket 78 havingbearings 79 adjustable vertically, in which turns `a horizontallydisposed shaft 80 parallel to the Winding spindle. One end of this shaft80 projects over the gear 75 and carries on said end a pinion 81 adaptedto be placed in gear with an adjustable gear 82 mounted on a movablebracket 82a arranged to be bolted to the standard 66 so that the gearscarried by said bracketwill transmit motion from the gear 7 5 to thepinion 81. VlThen' this train of gears is in use the shaft 80 is drivenin the same direction as the shaft 67. The shaft 80 has loosely mountedthereon a grooved guide wheel 83 for guiding the -strand from theswinging eraf-f io the winding bobbin, said wheel turning fully on saidshaft in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig; 3, and at the sametime sliding lengthwise of the shaftas the strand progresses along thebobbin from end to end of the latter. l/Vhen heavy wires are being woundtheshaft 80 is not driven but when light wires are being wound saidshaft is driven by said train of gears 82 in a direction op.-` posite tothat of the revolution of the wheel 83, so as to reduce -the frictionbetween said wheel and shaft so that the wheel will move straight line.

lengthwise of the shaft more freely. The shaft 8O is adjustable towardand away from the winding mandrel or form', so that the guide .wheel 83thereon may be brought as close asy possible to the surface of thewinding, to make the length of the strand between the guide'wheel 83 andthe winding as short as possible. In order to provide for thisadjustment I form in the vertical arms of the bracket 78 a plurality ofalining openings78a in any one of which the shaft 80 may be mounted.

Any suitable core or mandrel may be employed upon which to form thewinding, but I have shown the same, for the purposes of thisapplication, as consisting vof a core 86 havingspaced face-plates 87,88, the latter of which is preferably removable in order to permit theremoval of the winding from the core after it has been completed. Thisdetachable face-plate is held in place on the core by means of aremovable nut 89 threaded onto the threaded extension 96 of the mandrelshaft 68.

rllhe construction and arrangement of parts being as above described,the operation of the machine is as follows: A supply spool with wire ofthe desired character and gage is mounted on the spool shaft 5, and thewire is pulled therefrom and passed around the upper outer wheel 35, andthen alternately around the lower carriage wheels and the remainingwheels on the stud 34, whence itA is passed under the Wheel 60, and overthe levers to be' formed. During the windingy the strand is wound on themandrel from end to end e back and forth, and during these traversingmovements the guide wheel 83 moves -back and forth along its shaft 80 toguide the strand to the mandrel in a The swinging crane carrying thewheels 60, 61 also moves in unison with the guide spool so that thestrand is at 'all' times guided in a straight line to the said spool andall knking or deflections in the wire is obviated. The guide spool andcrane move back and forth at all times under the influence of the strandbeing wound. In other words,l the guiding movement of the spool andcrane is not determined by any operating mechanism but by the movementsof the strand as it is wound upon the mandrei..y The winding operationbeing estabiet lilo

nous@ lished, the strand for the mandrel is drawn leases the brakewhich' normally-exerts its* pressure on the supply spool shaft, and thegravitation of the carriage 36 will pull more wire from the freelymovable supply spool.V

This operation continues until the carriage 36 drops until its roller 52again reaches the face when the brake will againbe applied andthe freerotation of the supply spool stopped or retarded by the brake.

During the operation of the machine it sometimes happens that it isnecessary to reverse the revolution of the mandrel in order to arrangethe turns thereon, or to remove some defect in the Wire which mightcause an imperfect winding. When the mandrel is reversed it will beobvious thatsome of the Wire will unwind from the mandrel back onto thewheels 35, 39 constitutingthe supply control mechanism, and in this easethe excess of Wire carriedY by said wheels 35, 39 will permit thedescent of the carriage 36, the roller 52 thereon passing from theinclined part 56 o the bar 46 onto the straight tace 55 of the said bar,whereby the bar will move to the lett as shown in Figs. i and 6, andpermit the bralre to be set to prevent the further revolution ot thesuply spool to feed wire to the wheels 55, 39. Should the amount of Wireunvvound from the mandrel onto the wheels 35, '39 of the supplycontrolling mechanism be sniiicient tol permit the carriage to dropbelow the straight face 55 ofthe bar 46 onto the inclined face Set, saidbar will move to 'the lett ciently to shift the belty from the loose tothe fixed pulley and thereby reverse the revolution of the supply spoolto talreup the excess wire ott' from the mandrel.

In order that the guide wheel 83 will not be permitted to override theinner faces of the end plates and cause the end 'turns to pile againstthe end plates I limit the movement of said wheel on 'the shaft by meansel collars 83a, 83 :lined to the shaft and so located thereon that theguide wheel Will be stopped before the groove 'therein gets in linewitbthe inner tace of the end plates. These collars are adjiustable alongthe shatt so that'tlie extent of movement of the wheel may be regulatedaccording to the length of the coil being Wound.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is :M
